In other business, the board voted to expel a high school student who brought a knife to school last month. No one was injured, said solicitor Alan McFall. He refused to say more about the incident.

The board hired architect Robert A. Bosak to do a feasibility study of the junior and senior high school for $2,500.

"We need someone to tell us what to do" to meet new state regulations that require public places to be accessible to the disabled within the next few years, said business manager Wallace Schlegel. One of the things that will have to be added is an elevator, he said.

Some other repairs will have to be made to the junior and senior high schools, too, which are 62- and 33-years-old, respectively.
